Issued by the Banjarnegara Information Bureau of Central Java, this poster depicts totok (white) Dutch soldiers riding safely in a military jeep. They are protected by soldiers of various ethnicities. Indonesian propagandists mocked the racial hierarchy in the Dutch army, where totok Dutch were privileged over others. The Dutch army enlisted Indonesians from all ethnic groups. This poster tries to make non-Dutch soldiers aware of the discrimination they were subjected to. As such, the poster implies that the Indonesian Republic and its army oppose the racist hierarchy that exists in the Dutch colonial army.
‘Selamanja: Blanda Totok dibelakang, kamoe didepan!’. One a set of seven Indonesian flyers. Or. 27.740-2.
